Abstract

An animal attack prevention suit to protect the lives of both animal and human. A vest includes a housing mechanism for housing a propellant. A propellant control mechanism controls emission of the propellant from the housing mechanism.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for prevention of an animal attack comprising:
 an article of clothing;   one or more nozzles extending from the article of clothing;   a housing mechanism configured for receiving a propellant; and   a propellant control mechanism for controlling emission of the propellant from the housing mechanism to the one or more nozzles.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the article of clothing is a vest, the vest comprises a front, the front coupled or integral to a first end of a first and a second side, and a second end of the first and the second side being coupled or integral with a rear. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the one or more nozzles are a chest center nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the front, and a first and a second front shoulder nozzle positioned respectively at a first side and a second side of a front shoulder area and further comprising a hose connected between the chest center nozzle and the first and the second front shoulder nozzles. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the one or more nozzles are a back center nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the rear, and a first and a second rear shoulder nozzle positioned respectively at a first side and a second side of a rear shoulder area and further comprising a hose connected between the back center nozzle and the first and the second rear shoulder nozzles. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the one or more nozzles are a side nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the first and the second side and further comprising a hose connected between the first and the second side nozzles. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the propellant control mechanism is a pump. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the propellant control mechanism further comprises a pump activation switch. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the propellant control mechanism is a ball valve. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the housing mechanism is a container. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the propellant is one or more of a bear spray, colored propellant, scent, or capsaicin. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the article of clothing is formed of canvas, nylon, cotton, leather, or a synthetic material. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the propellant is emitted from the one or nozzles as a spray. 
     
     
         13 . A method for preventing an animal attack comprising:
 providing an article of clothing comprising one or more nozzles extending from the article of clothing, a housing mechanism including a propellant, the one or more nozzles being coupled to the housing mechanism and a propellant control mechanism coupled to the housing mechanism; and   activating the propellant control mechanism for emitting the propellant from the housing mechanism to the one or more nozzles.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the propellant is emitted from the one or nozzles as a spray. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the propellant is one or more of a bear spray, colored propellant, scent, or capsaicin. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the propellant control mechanism is a ball valve 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16  wherein the housing mechanism is a container. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the propellant control mechanism is a pump. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  wherein the propellant control mechanism further comprises a pump activation switch. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the article of clothing is a vest, the vest comprises a front, the front coupled or integral to a first end of a first and a second side, and a second end of the first and the second side being coupled or integral with a rear, wherein the one or more nozzles are a chest center nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the front, a first and second front shoulder nozzle positioned respectively at a first side and a second side of a front shoulder area, a back center nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the rear, a first and a second rear shoulder nozzle positioned respectively at a first side and a second side of a rear shoulder area, a side nozzle positioned at a center of an inside surface of the first and the second side and further comprising a hose connected between the chest center nozzle, the first and the second front shoulder nozzles, the back center nozzle and the first and the second rear shoulder nozzles and the first and the second side nozzles.
